Overview
Just a stone's throw from Spain, the Bayonne area provides access to a series of Atlantic beaches with regular swells and winds often associated with western depressions. Sessions mainly take place on the large exposed beaches around Anglet and nearby spots, where sandbanks create sometimes powerful waves. It’s not necessarily the simplest playground: currents, shorebreak, and formed seas require a rider who is already comfortable in ocean conditions. In the height of summer, the crowds and designated areas slightly reduce the time slots, while between autumn and spring, the area truly comes alive for those seeking real wave riding.
